Sustainability Plan ‘Noughts and Crosses’

In 2014 Bankinter continued to develop the strategic lines defined in its ‘Noughts and Crosses’ (2012-2015) Sustainability Plan, which was presented in the Sustainability Report for 2012. The Plan takes its name from the Bank's objective of transversally integrating the management of its economic, social and environmental dimensions in line with its activity. (The name in Spanish, Tres en Raya, literally means "three in a row" and is also the Spanish name for the game known in the UK as 'Noughts and Crosses' and in America as 'Xs and Os' or 'Tic-tac-toe').

Through this plan, Bankinter aspires to consolidate its position as a model of sustainability in the financial sector and to generate additional economic, social and environmental value to share
with its stakeholder groups.

The Sustainability Committee, led by the Chairman of the Board, is the body charged with overseeing fulfilment of the principles embodied in Bankinter's Sustainability Policy.

It is also responsible for defining the strategy and developing the objectives set in the ‘Noughts and Crosses’ Plan as contained in the management scorecard, which is the tool for monitoring continuous improvement in the Bank's sustainable management.

Every month the Management Committee is informed of the advances made in the various strategic lines forming the Plan.
